Leaves with more than one blade on a single petiole are known as?

• A. Compound Leaves
• B. Simple Leaves
• C. Needle Leaves
• D. Lobed Leaves

Answer: (A)

Compound leaves are made up of several leaf blades, or leaflets, attached to a single stalk. When a leaf has more than one blade on the same petiole, those blades are leaflets that together form one leaf structure. This distinguishes them from simple leaves, which have a single blade on a petiole. Lobed leaves are still one blade even though the edge is deeply indented, and needle leaves describe a narrow blade shape rather than multiple leaflets on one stalk. So the term that fits leaves with more than one blade on a single petiole is compound leaves.
